In Italian communities they refer to them as frazioni, in Hispanic communities they refer to them as barrios and in many English
communities they refer to them as boroughs. However, across most of America we
refer to them simply as neighborhoods.

We begin with a blog series defining TRG
Communities’ style. One of the invaluable ingredients in every TRG community is
creating a neighborhood lifestyle. When a family moves into their next home they are
moving into more than just a brick and mortar house, they are moving into a lifestyle.
In every community we are creating places for people to live, work, raise a family and enjoy certain
quality of lifestyle.

Cultivating a neighborhood lifestyle has several key characteristics
that don’t come easily. First it is filled with countless functional attributes, which includes mixed-use design and
meaningful community amenities. At Foxbank Plantation this is seen in the
intentional design of our built and proposed plans for numerous parks, a
resort-style pool, an elementary school, places of worship, cafes, and
convenient stores all within easy access to our residential homes.

Secondly, a
neighborhood lifestyle is filled with thriving social interactions andactive community involvement. Inviting front porches, spacious sidewalks,
and convenient community amenities, are all designed to naturally cultivate
social interactions. However, this is also seen in intentional programming with
active neighborhood associations, community farmers markets, or concerts in the
park. Research also shows that an involved and active community creates a safer
and healthier neighborhood too.At our
Verdmont community, we support a community farmers market at the neighborhood
pavilion, where neighbors come together over fresh and local foods.

Lastly, a
neighborhood lifestyle is cultivated through beautiful and inspiring design.Beautiful
design always encourages a neighborhood lifestyle whether it is an inspiring streetscape of
homes where couples enjoy a brisk evening walk or a sprawling central park where
parents play catch with their son or daughter. Without an inviting or imaginative
community, residents remain residents and neighbors never become
neighbors.In our Carilion community
it’s tough to stay indoors during this beautiful fall season.Neighbors come together over a community
barbeque or just a back to school pizza party.

Creating that neighborhood lifestyle is seen in each of our
communities by a focus on building functional attributes, cultivating community
involvement, and creating inspiring design.All communities are not created equal.Communities with a rich and dynamic neighborhood lifestyle we know create
value for you, your family and your home. So when you are looking for your
next dream home in your next dream community, be sure to experience the vibrant neighborhood
lifestyle in every TRG community.
